Every goal is reviewable...the hand pass wars just as reviewable as an offside 45 seconds prior to the goal. On and off ice officials blew it. The explanation that because it wasnt the player who scored who made the hand pass, is wrong.
Every goal should be reviewed...period. the fact that the NHL uses 2 different replay systems...one in house and one in Toronto...friending in the situation, is a clusterfuck only they could achieve.

. Make them able to buzz the refs Fucking YES to that. How cool would a shock collar be on the Ref's?

Making everything reviewable makes it harder for the league to rig the Sharks Cup victory. And that's their feel good story of the year - Joe Thornton finally winning.
They only review things to help the Sharks.

Why even have the refs on the ice to be honest? They get in the way all the time as it is. Put a linesman in a penalty box at each blue line. Two refs at either end of the ice in a penalty box. One ref watching from above on a TV monitor.

Kind of like the puck ramp on those old table hockey games.

Having refereed just a little I think the most important aspect is communicating with the players directly. You call them out on the close calls. Let them know they can't get away with it the next time, letting them know what is not right. Being among them out on the ice is key. Communication is everything. A referee can prevent things from happening.
If the referee is somewhere far away nobody cares about anything and will just look for ways to cheat.
Sometimes it's the right call to give 2 minutes for a borderline hook if that player has been doing it all game. It's a weak call, but player understands it and accepts it. He was told the next time he does it it's a penalty! A LOOOOT of fans complain about penalties not going 50/50, like "my team got screwed, look at the powerplays!". But if the play is 90% at one end of the ice (like it often is at high school hockey where I reffed), it makes sense the penalties are not even. I see NHL games where one team dominates and the other team is reeling, doing everything to slow the better team down, where infractions are 20-2, but penalties are called maybe 5-2 because refs are afraid to decide the game. But that's exactly what they are doing - deciding the game. The better team is suddenly handicapped. Their penalties are called 100%, but the other team gets a pass because then the ratio would be too much.

That doesn't mean they don't have access to the ice just that they shouldn't be on the ice for 95 % of play. They aren't hermetically sealed up.

Yeah, they're in the Finals. As much as I hate that little rat bastard prick Marchand ( he bothers me) and wakey-wakey Backes, Boston is the only one left to stop these guys.
